Elite defensive back Houston Griffith became the newest Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. The 6'1", 192-pound IMG prospect recently hosted Todd Lyght, decommitted from Florida State, hosted Brian Kelly and Mike Elko last week, and hosted Lyght again the other day. While Griffith hasn't trekked to [...]

With 18 commitments already in the 2018 class, the list of football banquet recruiting visitors this year is centered more on camaraderie than progress. Even so, there are of course some uncommitted visitors in town who are key targets; unsurprisingly, they're all at positions of need in this class. The Irish staff will attempt to [...]

Floridian Joe Wilkins became the 19th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. The 6'2", 180-pounder just took an official visit for the Wake Forest game with his mother; they had planned on visiting a few more schools, but apparently they saw all they needed in South Bend. [...]

Halloween has come and gone and now we're at the point where the recruiting class of 2018 is really coming together. We'll probably see a couple of new names pop up on the board here in the next couple of months, but right now the Irish have zeroed in on their top targets and are [...]

It’s almost November already and the Irish are ready for another Top 15 showdown at Notre Dame Stadium tomorrow afternoon. Before we enjoy the festivities of gameday, let’s take a quick look at the 2018 Offensive Big Board and catch up on some recruiting. 247C Pos Name Temp .9952 OG Jamaree Salyer Cold .9114 OG [...]

This weekend continues to get better and better for Notre Dame Football. Not only did the Irish de-pants the USC Trojans on prime-time television last night, but now they have earned their 17th verbal commitment from the Class of 2018 -- this time from a kid mere miles from campus. Mishawaka, Indiana product Paul Moala [...]

Stop me if you've heard this one: The USC game is days away. The Irish are favored and it's a huge recruiting weekend. Woohoo! Just like 2011, right? Well, while there will be many recruiting visitors for USC weekend, just like 2011, but there's plenty of reason to believe that 2017 Notre Dame is in [...]

It's been a while since we've updated the 2018 Notre Dame football big board, largely because not a whole lot was happening. A few guys here and there committed to this school or visited that one, but that was it. Now that the season has started and everyone's boards are a bit tighter and official [...]

As you might expect, we have a very impressive list of recruiting visitors for Georgia. Normally I would say it's impossible to imagine a recruiting weekend that's a bigger deal than a USC game, but in this case I think there's a discussion. Georgia will play Notre Dame for just the second time ever, and [...]

Elite wide receiver Kevin Austin became the 16th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. Austin has steadily climbed in the national rankings since the Irish offered almost a year ago; the 6'3", 198-pound athlete stands out due to plus ability in multiple categories and the ease with [...]

Jacob Lacey became the second commit in Notre Dame's 2019 class when he pledged to the Irish today. Michigan expected Lacey at their summer barbecue event this weekend, but he cancelled that trip and instead became Michigan's second top 150 recruiting loss of the week to Notre Dame. #RememberTheSix First I give GOD all [...]

The 2017 football opener against Temple inches ever closer, which of course means it's a perfect time for projecting 2018 recruiting needs for the remainder of this cycle. Right? That's how I read it, anyway... With the recent pledges of George Takacs, Jahmir Smith, Shayne Simon, and Jack Lamb, the 2018 class stands at 15 [...]

Linebacker Jack Lamb became the 15th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. Conventional wisdom held UCLA would win out for the 6'4", 215-pound Californian due to concerns about distance; despite even further distance, many feared Penn State's pull on the double Nittany Lion legacy. However, Notre Dame [...]

Shayne Simon became the 14th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. The 6'3", 215-pound athlete's star has ascended steadily over the last few months, as he has put in some very impressive camp performances and moved into the top 150 in the 247 Composite. Earlier in his recruitment, [...]

Jahmir Smith became the 13th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. The 5'11", 198-pound North Carolina speedster is a high-academic kid (as a junior, he reports a GPA of 4.43/4.0 and an ACT of 25) who reacted very favorably to his Notre Dame offer, but we never heard [...]
